asterisk users - Jun 2011 - sig_pri.c:985 pri_find_dchan: Span 1 No D-channels available! Using Primary channel as D-channel anyway!

Dears;

The problem was related to something else.

The Digium card has two PRI ports, actually to get it UP, I have to configure
the two ports and both of those two ports to take the timing from span 1.

Why this, I do not know ! Although I am using only one E1 connected to span 1,
so why I have to configure the other span !!

After configuring the second span, so now one D channel for span 1 is UP and the
other is down (because no E1 cable connected to the other span), now I can
remove the configuration for the other span and the D channel for the first span
will stay UP, but at anytime, the E1 might come back down again and I have to
configure the other span port again to get the E1 up on the first span.

Any advise for this?

Regards
Bilal

What company card you have? Copy paste your dahdi config and  
chan_dahdi.conf

The card is Digium card T2XXP (PCI) as I mentioned in my email.

I added the configuration for the second port (span 2) to work, otherwise it
does not work.

I just added the below lines in the files system.conf and chan_dahdi.conf, all
other lines are the default lines. The asterisk version is: Asterisk 1.8.3.2,
DAHDI Version: 2.4.1 and libpri-1.4.11.5.

system.conf:

span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4,yellow
bchan=1-15,17-31
dchan=16

span=2,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4,yellow
bchan=32-46,48-62
dchan=47

chan_dahdi.conf:

context=IncomingPSTN
group=0
signalling=pri_cpe
switchtype=euroisdn
channel=>1-15,17-31


context=IncomingPSTN
group=1
signalling=pri_cpe
switchtype=euroisdn
channel=>32-46,48-62

So any advise why I have to configure the second span? I only need span 1.

Regards
Bilal
